We humans have strong interest in behavioral concerns, ranging widely from such things as addressing autism to adopting sustainable living. This course introduces the principles, methods, concepts, practices, philosophy, history, ethics, and application areas of behaviorology. We will look at: 1) normal behavior (i.e., child rearing, education, interpersonal relations in the worlds of work, entertainment, politics, diplomacy, etc.); 6) abnormal behavior (i.e., considering people with special needs, developmental disabilities, autism, PTSD, etc.); 3) some specialty areas (industrial safety, companion and service animal training, etc.).
